Phillip Schofield has revealed that This Morning helped to save a woman from an abusive relationship.

A viewer, known as Marie, called the show earlier in the month to claim that her fiancé had become violent toward her and she didn't know what to do.

The presenter and his co-host, Holly Willoughby, both urged the woman to leave her partner for her own safety at the time.

While the shocking phone call left viewers panicked for Marie, Phillip confirmed on today's show that the team - including agony aunt Deirdre Sanders - had managed to persuade the woman to leave her fiancé.

Deirdre explained: “A lot of people were coming to me because they were really worried. The good news is Marie has taken very definite steps, she is coming out of that relationship.

“Marie said she recorded the interview and watched it back and thought ‘What am I doing here? I must get out.'
